Ppl complaining are ppl who still care for game, and those who care are in really short supply. But hey i guess saying that is not constructive enough , right ?

Looking for group fractals level ………..

Is this what GW2 is become ? Waiting for ppl who are specific lvl so that you can form party and do same thing over and over again til lyou get next and next lvl ?

I must say im impressed that anet was able in such short time, to kill EVERY single area and move complete lag mess to main city.

How can you ppl be ok with this ?

Im sorry but i really dont see why are you guys so negative ? Guy is trying to share something he cares about ingame , and i guess he is good in what he does.
Anyway, Risingashes.8694 , gz on 15k , hope you get legendary also.

Thanx for sharing. I like u work , keep it up !

Part of me wish i did use, other, ways to get legendary. I guess i still can. But why do that ? Why net would not actually make it more fun and far less grind ?
PS.
GZ on ecto/t6 prices anet, u guys really did it this time.

Dunno how they gonna “award” ppl who didnt have chance to gain items. There are many ppl who were not able to even login to game due to constant client errors. I guess for those they will say , they didnt play they dont deserve it , right ?

How about those who looted box twice (different overflow) ? What about awarding some with 3 precursors an others with useless, not even 1g worth items ?
All this is just sick joke.

Lordrosicky.5813 said it. All of the ppl who love wvw , end up broke.

Ill just say once again “take a lot of time” is incorrect factor completely. Its fact that many ppl spent cc 20-30$ to get 200-400g and obtain 90% of requirements. Others used bots/hack tools to do the same.
Im not saying there are no ppl who play fair, what im saying there is nothing that “take a lot of time”.
To be perfectly honest, long term goals should be achievements , tittles. To common player, finishing full map is taking long time, if he is trying to enjoy it.
Legendary is already taking far more time to obtain , w/o need for insane amount of gold, so that distinguish it from, exotics.
What was the problem to implement “mentoring” new players, or “craft” starter gear, or hell, achievement on revive ?
Would it not be far more RPG if you would have to “save/rebuild the overrun village” in some zone ? If you think about it, this would srsly help almost dead , and constantly contested (example) zones to get some life , and would not be so , easy to obtain since ppl would do it ?
All i say, grind xxx mats , is not , legendary.

PS.
Doing ANYTHING in GW2 takes far more time then buying gold from bots/gems. Thats a fact.

and it will STILL take you a lot of time, because after doing the full explore you’ll still have to level up 240 times to get enough skill points and you STILL will need to far badges and run the same dungeon multiple times over. Even if you bought everything because money is raining from your kitten you’ll still need to invest at least 200 hours.

I see nothing wrong with lvling and dungeons or wvw. Thats part of game , mostl ppl like (i asume). I dont believe anyone can say that farming 250 vials of blood is , fun.

PS.

Right now bots are far more sophisticated, they are super hard to report (to fast to target). Botters are still ruling over market , they just changed focus. Several botting sites offer not just gold but , materials that are on high demand for RL money , and are , by far cheaper then gem store.
If we cant see them anymore , its not coz they are not there.
And the main reason why they are in existence is coz of ever rising grind.
But looking on answers from community , mindless grind is far more acceptable then looking for “meaningful” fun guided experience.
In this topic i was trying to talk about game , and legendary as game related achievement. My question was , why is , in game terms , legendary term related to mindless grind. I was hoping there are ppl who would , from aspect of game ofc, see legendary as achievement that was more related to lets say helping GW2 world as hero, do task that makes your hero, hero in the GW2. I would relate that hero to a person who is “known” in wvw, person who is known in spvp or a community hero in pve. A hero that helps world of Tyria look better for all.
To make it simple , why we would not make “legendary” heros of those who do awesome work in wvw, those who make spvp worth of challinge or those who help “heros to be” move on that path.
Our heros , who are in a way , legendary , are , and u must agree, those who had time or money to get insane amount of xxxxx mats.
What i try to say is, why is mindless grind and RNG that provide lets say 250 ecto, more valuable then helping 10 new players move on their way up.
Call me lazy kitten or noob , but i think that helping 1 person pass to some poi should be seen far more valuable and awarding then hours of brainless grinding one same event for personal gain.

By what i see , u r all completely find with mindless grinding. I hope ascension armors to be 10-20 times more needy for t6 mats. I also wish that rest of set requires 50x more globs and at least 250 lodstones per part. So that u guys , can have fun.

Happy grinding for years.

All problems aside this game is great deal. Hopefully we wont see greed corporate world ruining it. Tx to all ppl who WORKED on gw2.
(forum mods, sales management, please dont find urself in my tx )

Good work guys and best of luck.

A bit back to topic.
Colin Johanson: We just don’t want players to grind in Guild Wars 2.
This is why i said its gem related.
Doing 100% is fun, in time u done it , u already have 200SP. Playing a bit more and we are done with fun events/dungeon runs (karma).
What is left for legendary craft then if not grind xxxx mobs for xxx mats ?
Gem store ?

you don’t have to buy gems to obtain the cool factor and if you did you aren’t buying better stats just a better looking item.

That may be true for you, not for all, and not for me.
Hopefully , ascension gear will stay grind fest , and everyone who wonna get it will feel same pain as those who care for “legendary” , models.

How is that not true for you or everyone else? Do you lack the ability to do anything in this game? Everything you do gives you money you just lack patience not the ability to get the cool factor without buying gems.

In a “skill-based” game why are so many of the rare items RNG/farm instead of rewarding skilled players?

Thats my problem here.
Grind and RL money win over skill and fun.

Similar problem as this is commander rank book. there are planty of ppl in WvW sho cant farm it , and deserve it far mroe then those “commanders” that bought it.
If you think, guy who spend tons of money to buy siege items, lead ppl around , and over all makes it fun time for many more then just himself, is not rewarded in GW2, even worse he lose (money) trying to be fun and cooperative player.

Yep, tx for this.
Thumbs up !

No, I’m feelin’ ya. It’d be cool if ya had ta run every Dungeon in the game once; had ta get every achievement, what ya can get on one character in the game, once; an’ only then didja open up another dungeon what ya had ta go through ta get yer legendary. Forget ingredients, forget precursors, make gettin’ it have nothin’ ta do with grind an’ everything ta do with bein’ awesome.

People want to do different things at this game. Few always think their favorite is the most “legendary” thing in the game, let it be dungeons, wvw, JP, open world boss, gold earning etc. But if they did put acquisition of lengendary based on one or few places, then they would kill the rest of the game, just look at fotm.

Thats true. But. Why not add other ways to obtain items like that ? WvW achievements , pve achievements , mix achievements. This game have so many thing person can do, but so many are completely useless (good example are world bosses). I was always wondering , why world dragons have such bad AI and no use. Why not change need for like 250 T6 mats , for something , with some “boss” drop from some long lasting , and hard event , that leads to boss fight.
In short , why not make bosses that we have , work similar (smaller) scale as it was last event, weekly , monthly or something like that.
Thing is , GW2 have base , NEVER to be grindy , i dont understand why not use it.
And ofc , leave option to be grind fest, who love to do it ….

Im not trying to make point here, i honestly wanted to see how community that QQ for days now, over ascension gear, is on other side completely ok with “buy to be cool” policy on legendary.

But to answer your question just look at ‘most’ of the legendary items, in a mass of 50+ people in WvW you can easily spot anyone with a legendary.

Not to me, i hardly get to load all ppl in WvW

How they are not related to gem store , if you can obtain like 80% of required materials over gem store, placing almost no effort into gameplay?

Ok i know i may take a lot rage on this, but i really wish someone to explain to me, why are legendary items, legendary.
The way i see it, except SPs, karma and map 100%, that actually take some to to gain and are making player to spend some time on it, other requirements are just pure fail.
All of this “hard to obtain” items are closely related to, gem store. What is so legendary in that ?
What say u ?

So i would like to ask , does anyone know good GW2 related comic ?
In addition ill share 2 , not so GW2 related.

(linked from season 6 )

http://www.thenoobcomic.com/index.php?pos=1

99% of hacked account are from ppl who are, or were trying to, use some of the hack tools, hack guides, bots, etc. That is not at all anet fault.

Profession should give u more then 1-2 choice. Also there is no more profit in what u said. What im thinking , is it not silly that ws have like cc5 different models of each weapon? And all are same as random drop items.
Makes no sense. Its same for tailoring , tailor is unable to make town cloths O.o.
I think something must be done for professions.

Tx for replay, but what u said , is bs sir. What is creative when mats , overprice final product ?

Thing is , anet made “some” stuff highly grindable, and with higher prices, your best choice, if you dont wish to waste months on farming, is gem shop. I dont really like that, coz, if someone can spend tons rl money , he can go on and enjoy game, wile i, cant pay and if i wish to get the same , have to waste months on grinding that is not fun.

Hi all,

Dunno was this have been discussed, i was wondering, since crafting is kinda useless, there is really almost no way to make money on it, what are the chances that we at least get weapons/armor models that are different that we can craft and sell to ppl and at least make some profit.
Thanx

After reporting many many bots, i realized now that i miss them.
So i would really gz anet team for removing bots , only if i didnt think that they did it only with goal of making money on gem store.
Well cant have it all, gz anet for bots wipe…..
Goodbye T6 mats, and wb pay to be “legendary”.

So ill join with my wishes and dreams.
1. I wish that next 100 crafts on MF i get my precursor
2. Lower t6 mats prices.
3. Alive low lvl zones.
4. Legendary for all !
^.^

You wont be able to do lowest lvls of dungeon without “ascended gear” , what do you think, will anyone let u party if you dont have it……..

Instead of fixing Plinx grind fest, and terrible ruined market for pre legendary, now we get even worse , new dungeon with new gear and to make it worse new frikken debuff that WILL force you to get new gear in order to pplay new content. Thats sad.

LF1M ONLY full Ascended geared allowed , link gear on /w.
Anyone see this happen ?

If I wanted to play GW1 I would do so. And I don’t , it’s terrible game. If they made GW2 to be improved graphics GW1 they Should say it. I bought GW2 coz it was NOT ment to be better looking GW1.

This will become one more mmo , f2p with beautiful gaphics and terrible pvp.

They could actually make AI to dragons, make those dragon events actually fun. They could make dungeons not so linear and boring. They could make legendary items far less grindy. But no , they left it where it is , in Orr, on Plinx, grind no lifers, grind.
And now new debuff, infusion, i guess if u cant think of anything new, just take it from stupid old game (yes there are ppl who think GW1 was fail boring stupid game).
I didnt bought this game to play GW1, and you wont fix the problem by taking stuff from GW1 and adding it here.

Again , same as for legendary , casual players must suffer for the sake of nolifers.
I hate it.

I just did google for “say NO to mmo grind”.
This is first page i found:
http://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2012/08/28/guild-wars-2-review-part-one-still-grinding-after-all-these-years/

Really for 100th time , please dont make it grind fest, please.

@Thereon.3495
Its not panic. I still , over all the problems , i love this game, and when i see they are trying to take BAD things from aion, wow , rift, etc… i really hope i can give my voice and try say its not good. I, as many ppl here , have my own opinion on game, i find for example legendary to be worst thing in GW2 coz its grind fest, but i dont wish to see this game frikken die coz of mistakes. Its such a good game , u can see soooo much effort placed into many aspects of it…
All i seen so far is many , many mad ppl, and i seen SO many ppl quit (lets be really we are losing ppl). This game should not fail, u know why , coz someone, some part of GW2 placed insane effort to make it, and did great job.
I think , that at least on this u will agree with me, i DONT wonna this game to be ruined by copy/paste mistake that all other mmos did.

I think all will agree on , new models , YEAH cool, but new stats , cmn ….
The only reason many ppl came here is coz GW2 was promise of super cool pvp where gear is not grinded like crazy person for ages. Then you added super grind for legendary , thats imo, not fun but GRIND. And now new stats ?
I fell like someone really wish to ruin this epic game.
Why they dont see that game does not have to be grind to win. Look at LoL, f2p, no grind , super fun game.
GW2 have it all , no zilion fail skills, phenomenal graphics, it does not need grind at all. You dont need frikken new sets to make game fun to players, all you need is , actually make it fun. Add AI to bosses (this what we have is not AI its lame script) , add more options for spvp and more , open WvW.
Is it so hard to make skins , some of them at least, achievement dependent, some skins that come randomly.
Ill give u simple example.
Many ppl were frustrated by MK tower puzzle (i loved it ).
So many ppl failed to get up in over 100 try.
Why you didnt think like , lol lets make achievement for those ppl who fail, “Fat belly” and one they fail 100 jumps u give them armor skin that makes char look fat (town skin or w/e). It would be funny , ppl would not rage like mad if they failed so many times, and honestly it would be epic joke to see tons of ppl trying badly to fail in something.
There are so many good ideas on this forum , and even more , i hate gw1 , but most ppl here are actually gw1 fans and they , if nothing else deserve your attention. What you do here is wrong to those ppl who follow you for years , not to say its wrong to many others.

Legendary should not be at all so connected to grind fest. 100% map, one/two crating skills maxed, tokens wvw and dungeon, materials and karma (500k) , plus lets say story line and all world bosses killed should b more then enough . Why , well those above say u did everything game offers. And also u put effort to that .
As we have it now , world bosses are mostly useless as well as story . I really don’t see why would we need RNG and years of Orr farm when some great things already exist. Legendary should be about fun and grind with no life is not fun.
Btw u know what owners of legendary do after getting it ATM?
They sit in LA tired of everything , afking.

Whole point of this game was to be fun and NOT grindy. I dont get how there are still ppl who brainlessly go into grind routine and be find with it. “Huge part of MMOs is grinding” – thats what GW2 was about to change, that is whats wrong with all MMOs.
And whoever thinks that grinding one event and same mobs for days/weeks is fun , should srsly get some help.

PS.
They had perfect way to provide precursor – story line. But no , its made to be easy and completely worthless, even do it was most fun thing in GW2.

Will you also try to take some time to see who and why is manipulating per weapons market. So far I got over 10 offers for pre weapon for real money. Last 5 days for example there was like 20 Dusk under 380 g . Now there are only 2 for 445.

Ps.
How is legendary , legendary , if you need to brainlessly grind one same event in Orr and even more grind insane amount of money ?

Well i kinda had enough of it. I decided to move back to Aion. GW2 is great game but it haz some huge problems. Hopefully there wil lbe new review out there that will say :
Anet did awesome work to make game far more fun and bots free.
Till then her is an old story for all:
Farglick, The Automated Online Role-Player
http://sea-jnk.narod.ru/texts/farglik.html

True that. But i also noticed that some of them got a lot smarter. There are several bots, monitored by players, so they do have pattern, they farm for hours on same spots , but also they do respond when contacted (not regenerated responses, but real person response) Orr is classical example.

I kinda try to find some , actually good looking GS. This one is ok i guess. I kinda love art of sword from aion (http://www.daevasreport.com/2012/07/04/aion-3-5-new-extendable-weapons/) and i find that with such superb graphics that GW2 have, items , especially weapons from GW look terrible (personal opinion).
Ofc if anyone have good GS model suggestion, feel free to post it here.
thnx

I just wanted to ask what you think of it, do you find it worth it for craft , and has anyone made it so far.
tx

I honestly think few ppl from anet, like ColinJohanson.2394 are working a lot on this. And it feels like he is trying hard to. Even do i complain a lot on how Anet run this show, i really respect ppl like Colin Johanson and i really hope they make this work.

I got my response. Thank you.
